Vampire (French, deriv. Serbian "vampir" or "vampira"): A vampire was believed to be the spirit of a suicide, heretic or criminal that fed on the blood of living things. Beliefs about spirits of the dead requiring blood to revitalize themselves can be found in Greek mythology (See Blood). Beliefs that vampires went out at night to seek the blood of humans to revitalize themselves were fairly common in the Middle Ages and especially popular in Slavic and Hungarian legends. Vampires were described in Slavic folklore as having protruding incisors with which to suck blood from the throats of their victims. It was further believed that they cast no shadow and that they were not reflected in mirrors. Talismans to ward off vampires included the crucifix and necklaces of garlic. It was believed that a vampire could be destroyed by destroying its daytime resting place, by burning it or by driving a stake through its heart. British author Bram Stoker's novel Dracula (1897) created the Transylvanian villain "Count Dracula" which defined the modern conception of a vampire. Films in the mid 1920s and early 1930s such as Tod Browning's classic "Dracula" (1931) starring Bela Lugosi further developed this modern stereotypical image (cf. Vampyre).

Vampire: The Masquerade: A role playing game developed by Mark Rein-Hagan and published by White Wolf in the early 1990s. It was inspired by the novels of Anne Rice. It portrays a dark, Gothic/Punk world where immortal vampires run human society from the shadows. Vampires are divided into clans, each of which has characteristic strengths and weaknesses. Vampire society is organized into Elders, Ancilla (q.v.) and Neonates (q.v.). Each city is ruled by a Vampire prince. Vampires in this “World of Darkness” are bound by a set of rules called “The Traditions” or “The Masquerade.” Rein-Hagen’s game was the first place where Vampires were referred to as “the Kindred.” Other terms used in this game which were absorbed into Vampyre (q.v.) culture include: Sire, Childe, and “the embrace.” This game is very popular and inspired the short lived TV program Kindred: The Embraced.

Vampyre (Var. Sanguinarian): A person who lives a Vampyre lifestyle and has a Vampyric condition, requiring them to replenish themselves by consuming the energy and/or blood of others. Vampyres describe the following symptoms of their condition: A real need to consume the blood or life energy of others, heightened sensitivities, light sensitivity, tendency to a nocturnal sleep cycle, increased healing abilities, and possibly lengthened lifespan. Heightened sensitivities include psychic abilities (e.g.: astral projection, clairvoyance). Their light sensitivity does not prevent them from being out in sunlight, though many report susceptibility to sunburn/sunstroke. They spell Vampyre with a “y” to differentiate it from the vampires of mythology, folklore and fiction. Vampyres have organized themselves into Covens, Households and Traditions and have developed complex languages, mythologies, philosophies and spiritual systems.

Venefica (Greek/Latin "veneficus" ("poisoner"): I've often seen this defined as: "A witch who uses poisons in magic spells". I think that most people are familiar with the line from Exodus 22:18 in the King James translation of the Bible: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." The King James version was translated from Greek texts, and the original line read: "Thou shalt not suffer a venefica to live". Thus, the correct translation should be: "Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live". King James's translator decided that the term "witch" was synonymous with "poisoner". In other translations of the Bible, this passage is translated differently. For example, in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible this verse is translated as: "You shall not permit a sorceress to live."
